Wealthy Joshua Iginla Gives Nollywood Actors Hummer Jeep, G-Wagon & 30 Cars
The founder of Champions Royal Assembly in Abuja, controversial Prophet Iginla yesterday gave out 16 cars & 16 SUVs to 6 veteran Nollywood actors, entertainers and members of his church as he marked his 50th birthday.
Celebrities who got Hummer Jeep, G-Wagon & CL550 Mercedes and several other cars from Iginla yesterday include Sunday Omobolanle aka Papiluwe, Francis Duru, Jide Kosoko, Ngozi Osondu and Thelma Nwosu.
Last year, Iginla gave out 18 cars as birthday gifts to Nollywood actors and selected members of his church.
Critics said it is a yearly ritual the pastor must perform while others said he is doing it out of a pure conscience.

I dont understand. What‘s his aims? Why not help the poor instead? Why adding to the rich when so many out there are struggling to barely afford 3 square meals a day?
Like I said earlier, I still don‘t understand. So I am not condemning nor praising. Maybe there is something we need to know. Hummer jeep SUVs Cars are not just some loaves of bread.

If this was coming from a politician, I might not have care so much as to drop a comment. But here is a Christian cleric who should understand Heaven’s own principle of giving. If he spends this much on the rich, how much then does he keep aside for the poor? Or are the people of humble estate not remembered at all by his generous hands? Jesus teaches that we should give to those who cannot pay us back, so that our reward would be great in heaven, for even sinners give to only those who can pay them back.
This pastor did this last year, and repeated it this year. I make bold to say this is not generousity at all. Abuja is not rid of the poor. The money spent on this worldly ostentation could have changed their lives and brought them to Christ if he was really concerned about winning souls for Christ. The RCCG G.O. would never do this, neither will Winners’ and a few others. Real men of God have there signatures; so do the fake ones.

Why pour water in the ocean? There are people who needs help and pastor Iginla is here declaring unnecessary suplus. I refused to be moved with this act of yours.

Abegi,r we dumb,why must he target nollywood and others,this is a clear evidence of end time pastors,remember days ago when a redeem pastor was said to have been distributing meat,dis,dat to members of d public,dat happened cause hez a poor pastor,nw dis one sharing cars runnin into say 600million yearly,yet efcc can’t probe him,his followers n nollywooders can’t reject his gifts.even tb joshua sef,no dey dash ppl luxury cars.
This is a ritual,to renew his life,riches,and exchange of ppls destiny. D devil gives you 10 mil,he takes back 600million from you.
End time everywhere.
Pastors no more do bloody hidden spiritual sacrifice,its now done in the disguise of giving gifts for exchange of extended life and riches.
We are all trapped.Jesus abeg when you dey come,mowi rapture together.

Humm What a shame.i am flabbergasted! see what Nigerians have turned Christianity to, just lost for words. This is clear misapplication of charity in contradiction of Christian doctrine, people pay tithes to help charitable causes not for publicity stunt, this is inversion of the robin hood principle: take from the poor give to the rich.How about of empowering people and alleviating poverty and sickness, Are these people able to maintain these cars? in the end most of these car will be abandon on the driveway due to lack of maintenance and difficulty of getting parts for them. This is the same way that most of the churches have universities that even members of their congregation cannot afford to enroll their children in them.This is an affront to the dignity of charity by creating elitism and nepotism.Don’t give people fish show them how to fish, it will sustain them for ever. so many graduates and school leavers roaming the street not knowing what their future will bear; so many families without food , this is totally twisted and definitely not christian, it lends weight to the suggestion that this act is some sort of ritual. i know due to state of the nation some will support him ans hail him; but this is not in line with Jesus teachings.

I quite agree with you @D Hunter! I wonder what motive he has for this gesture,cus it could have been channeled to more appropriate places.

Sir,
Why not use your wealth to help the less privileged people. They need your help, please help them and let God bless. except there is a motive to your giving

Givers never lack. God loves a cheerful giver. it is an act of kindness.

This is a mis-place priority giving and helping the already have. Even our lord and Saviour Jesus Christ said He did not come for the save rather He came for the unsaved souls. In the same manner a rich man giving to the rich people is a misplace giving just for the show of it. Take for example why did Bill Gate not give out all his money to the Bush family, Clinton family, or Harrison Ford the America Actor.. Not even his own child, Rather he gave it all to help helpless children / People worldwide as charity help. Mchwweee!!!!

why talking of the car gifts to nollywood,when 7 was giving to nollywood and the rest to the church members including a 80 plus old woman, motherless home babies windows and some women in the church that are into petty trading, he gave deep freezers, bags of rice, scholarships to motherless babies,haba,must u chastise good work. last year, he gave money and employment to abandon dwarfs, cripple. Elder Maya, whom Nollywood could not rescue with just 1m naira, he gave the family the I.M NAIRA through Bruno Nwoha and ask for a follow up. whoever does not appreciate what this man of GOD HAS SINGLE HANDEDLY DONE,then u are wicked.Like he said,’Don’t thank me, thank God who made it possible” How many Pastors or G.O. in Nigeria has done this to there members, rather than buying Jets, establish schools members cant afford, and we see one that believe in GIVING,WE said its ritual, may God forgive u

@ Gloria, I do not agree with you on this. It is true that God loves cheerful giver no doubt, but the question here nobody seem to be asking is…
What did the beneficiaries do to warrant this generous gesture in the first place?
If your giving someone a gift one whom you know will give you something in return, what you are doing is BUSINESS not KINDNESS.

My Question – WHERE DID THE PASTOR GET SO MUCH WEALTH FROM THAT HE CAN AFFORD TO GIVE AWAY 32 VERY EXPENSIVE CARS OUT AT ONCE, WHICH IS REPORTED TO BE A YEARLY OCCURENCE?

This is how life and given should be define not buying a private jet building university so ur kids can take off from when u die stupid wealth sick pastors. opportunist pastors who never believed they will fly someday now owns jets and willing to buy more say its church properties why ur junior pastors no get personal access to the jet abi them no dey use church chairs and table waiting come make the jet different. god help u money hungry pastors and hope wen u die fire and many more will get all that your wealth down so we see how ur kids can keep up. church business pastors. the only mentor they have is the pastor who owes an airport……..
